Tsubaki knives are crafted in a small workshop in Nagasaki by a talented young blacksmith, Miyazaki-san. Though early in his career, he brings impressive experience to his craft, having trained first at the renowned Yoshimitsu workshop and later under the guidance of master blacksmith Ooba-san in Hakata. The beautiful damascus cladding used on these blades is forged by Miyazaki-san himself—a rarity among our blacksmiths, as few take on this complex and demanding task.
Each knife is handmade, so all measurements are approximate.
